Just by luck, I came across The Arch when searching for a place to have our wedding. From the moment I met with Mary to the evening leaving the ceremony, it was the best experience. Mary was so helpful thru the entire process. Mary and her team did an awesome job decorating the pavilion. Mary had a couple of surprises that I loved. I also had Mary cater. Great job with the food. The Arch is a beautiful place to get married. Mary went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely amazing!

If you’re looking for an affordable venue complete with bride and grooms amenities as well as southern charm and an AWESOME team of coordinators, then I highly recommend The Arch. When I first met Mary Wilson while venue searching, the first thought I had was how kind and friendly she was. She was so helpful throughout the whole journey, from our initial meeting all the way until we left the venue as newlyweds! We got married here on 11/10/2019 and had everything came together so perfectly. Mary and the A-Team went above and beyond to give us the experience we wanted. Everything was amazing - the hospitality, the surprise decorations in the garden, the food - all of it.
Mary helped with a lot of unexpected hiccups as well. She sewed up my garters so that they’d fit correctly, did a quick alteration on my sister’s dress, and she even quickly went from wedding coordinator to paramedic to help my best friend come down from an endometriosis attack - and all of this happened before the ceremony! With so many stressful things going on, Mary and the A-Team STILL managed to make everything come together perfectly!
When Mary realized we didn’t have enough arrangements for the ceremony garden, she had her A-Team quickly decorate with some of her own arrangements so that we could have a beautiful ceremony. The reception pavilion was decorated absolutely splendidly and was so perfect! Also the food from Artistic Catering was AMAZING and the service was wonderful.
Mary and her A-Team were so great with their quick thinking and and their hospitality. They made sure I had the beautiful wedding that many girls dream of. Love, love, love this venue and I highly recommend to anyone who is planning to be married in the Charleston area. Thank you Mary and the A-Team for all the help and hard work you put into making our day perfect!

Amazing Experience
My son got married at here 10 November, and it was beyond perfect! Mrs. Mary and the A Team made everything so easy, so beautiful, so amazing!! I was more involved than most mother's of the groom because the bride's family lived so far away, and it was an honor to be a part of this experience. My son asked me to help give his bride a fairy tale, and fairy tales start with the perfect couple (check), but they aren't possible without the perfect location. We had a couple of choices in our budget, and The Arch was quite a bit more expensive than the others, but the others did not have Mrs. Mary T. Wilson. From the first visit through the entire wedding, she was supporting us and providing suggestions to fulfill the bride's vision and made the day the fairy tale my son wanted for his bride. I cannot thank you enough Mary T. Wilson, Katrina, and the rest of the A Team. You guys are amazing!!!

One stop shop
I can not begin to explain how amazing our special day turned out to be! First let me say that the venue is absolutely stunning and so reasonably priced for everything that you get with it. This place literally does not have to be decorated and it still so elegant and beautiful. The owner and also the woman that helps you plan everything from your first meeting til the time you leave after the reception, Mary Wilson, will go above and beyond to make sure that you have anything and everything that you need! She has tons upon tons of things that you can rent for very reasonably pricing, not to mention she can make flower arrangements that will blow your mind! I truly could not have picked a better place to start the beginning of my happily ever after. The only thing I wish I could do is turn back time and do it all over again! Thank you Mary and your team for making my day a day i will remember and cherish foreve
